+I know that KDE3/KDE4 coexistence was hard in the beginning in fact in Mdv
+2009.0 it was a disaster, but from 2009.1 onwards it has worked
+perfectly.
+I have run a few installs (2009.1 and 2010.0) with both KDE3 and KDE4 on
+the same box without any issues.
+
+The existing Mandriva packages from Tim and tarakbumba are a continuation
+of the official Mandriva KDE3 packages so they don't have any conflicts
+with KDE4 anymore. 
+
+Any Mageia TrinityDE packages would be derived from the Mandriva packages
+so just like the Mandriva packages there is no reason that there should be
+any problems.
+
+TrinityDE is a live FOSS project and is now completely separate from KDE,
+so excluding it would be like saying we don't include Gnome since we
+already provide KDE.

+
+I certainly don't have the web space and bandwidth resources for a
+repository and frankly I joined Mageia as a packager precisely because I
+thought Mageia would finally make confusing and conflicting third party
+repos (like Mandriva has) obsolete.
